oooph... this is a tough one. I hate it when people burn the flag, too, and I want them exited from our country. But, it's freedom of speech... and making this offense punishable by a year in jail could lead to a slippery slope, and the Principle of Freedom becomes a principle akin to freedom.
Makes me wonder if this is some sort of ploy just to get the tards to explode.
I disagree. If burning any flag of any country or organization considered hate speech, the same goes for the American flag. Either apply the law equally or not at all

You're assuming I even agree with there being such a thing as hate speech. Look at the slippery slope THAT led to.
